Georg Philipp Telemann (March 14, 1681 – June 25, 1767) was a German Baroque music composer and multi-instrumentalist, born in Magdeburg. Self-taught in music, he studied law at the University of Leipzig. Often described as the most prolific composer in history (at least in terms of surviving oeuvre), he was a contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi and a lifelong friend of George Frideric Handel. While in the present day Bach is generally thought of as the greater composer, Telemann was more widely renowned for his musical abilities during his lifetime.
Telemann traveled widely, absorbing various musical styles and incorporating them into his own compositions. He is known for writing concertos for unusual combinations of instruments, such as multiple violas, trumpets, oboes, or harpsichords. He held a series of important musical positions, culminating in that of music director of the five largest churches in Hamburg, from 1720 until his death in 1767.

Interest : Skill level : This is my first visit on your
site. It looks great and
promising. Please do bring
more scores from other
composers like Caleb Sympah
and the likes. Thanks

Interest : Skill level : I think the level depends on
the age of the player. An
adult beginner could play this
(well?) within a year of
starting the recorder (if they
practised enough), but most
recorder players are school
kids and would find this to be
'advanced'. My ten year old
son has been playing the
recorder for many years, but
doesn't practice much and
would find the high notes a
challenge. But the rhythms and
note progressions are pretty
simple, so I expect he'll cope
(once he gets over the shock
of it being 8 pages long!).
Nice to see out-of-copyright
music being published in the
public domain for free. It
would be nice if all sheet
music was available online for
free download - perhaps the ad
revenue would be sufficient to
pay royalties to composers
whose material is still in
copyright.
